The correct Answer is:
To find the relation between frequency (n), wavelength (λ), and velocity of propagation (v) of a wave, we can start from the basic definitions of these terms. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - **Frequency (n)**: The number of cycles of a wave that pass a point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz). - **Wavelength (λ)**: The distance between consecutive crests (or troughs) of a wave, measured in meters (m). - **Velocity (v)**: The speed at which the wave propagates through a medium, measured in meters per second (m/s). 2. **Establish the Relationship**: - The relationship between these three quantities can be derived from the basic wave equation. The velocity of a wave is equal to the product of its frequency and wavelength. - Mathematically, this is expressed as: \[ v = n \cdot \lambda \] - Here, \(v\) is the velocity, \(n\) is the frequency, and \(λ\) is the wavelength. 3. **Rearranging the Equation**: - If we want to express frequency in terms of velocity and wavelength, we can rearrange the equation: \[ n = \frac{v}{\lambda} \] - This shows that frequency is equal to the velocity divided by the wavelength. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct relation between frequency, wavelength, and velocity of propagation of a wave is: \[ v = n \cdot \lambda \] ### Final Answer: The relation between frequency (n), wavelength (λ), and velocity of propagation (v) of a wave is given by: \[ v = n \cdot \lambda \] ---
